L-com Launches New Line of High-Performance Ethernet Mini-Couplers

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., March 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- L-com Global Connectivity, a preferred manufacturer of wired and wireless connectivity products, announced today that it has released a new line of Ethernet mini-couplers that are engineered to deliver exceptional performance in a very compact design.

L-com's eight new mini-couplers provide the same performance and quality as full-size Ethernet couplers, but measure less than one inch in length. They are shorter and lighter than standard couplers which maximizes usable space behind the panel. This design provides more room for installers to work behind racks, panels or enclosures, improves air flow and reduces stress on cable exits, ensuring that the mating assembly's bend radius is not exceeded.

These mini-couplers are available with three options: Cat5e or Cat6 rating, shielded or unshielded and either in-line or keystone-style. The keystone-style, snap-in couplers are easy to use and are ideal for patch panel and enclosure applications. The in-line couplers offer a versatile and economical way to couple two Ethernet cables, and their compact design allows them to be stacked vertically or horizontally with no spae between couplers.

"Our new mini-couplers offer the same superior performance and quality as our best-selling full-size models, but in a super-compact, versatile package that is a perfect fit for almost any application," said Dustin Guttadauro, Product Manager.

L-com's high-performance mini-couplers are ideal for premise applications such as wiring; telecommunications; LAN; 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet; voice; data and video networking. They are RJ45 (8x8) female to RJ45 (8x8) female which allows for easy coupling of cables without requiring tools or punch-downs. These couplers exceed category standards and EIA568A/B dual wiring provides compatibility for every installation.
